After years of struggling with poor results using large name brand chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and fungicides. Zamzows began to look deeper and found that any healthy lawn begins with a healthy soil.

There is a story that Jim tells that pretty much sums up the Zamzows philosophy when it comes to taking care of a garden. The story is about an encounter he had with his Grandma Carmalita (Grandma Z.)

"She then showed Jim a picture of Grandpa Zamzow standing on a hay derrick holding his shovel high in the air, with the corn as high as the shovel. Carmalita explained that was the size and quality of corn they always grew. Plus, they never had any corn-ear-worm, corn borer, corn smut, or any of the other insects and diseases that seemed to plague other farmers. The other farmers, she told Jim, all applied chemical fertilizer which made their corn grow very rapidly for several years. Then, they all were plagued by the insects and diseases she described above. She told Jim she always suspected it had something to do with the use of chemical fertilizers. Although he says he really didn’t believe it, Grandma Z’s story was firmly implanted in Jim’s mind."

There are unintended consequences when using chemical based fertilizers and many of them will not manifest for a number of years. This type of feeding neglects the important micronutrients and carbon which is necessary for the delicate balance of a soils eco-system. In seeking this balance Zamzows has developed products for your garden that brings everything into balance, so you have the healthiest garden possible.
